Wort chiller pump

[liamf89]

The pump has a 1/2" BSP, pipe diameter so you will need a connector matching to your hose/pipe.

What about the power supply with that weird connector what do I need to get to power it

scissors to cut the cable of and teeth to remove the insulation. As it has 12V you won't be killed (if you don't have a medical condition I never heard of)

So I have to cut that connector of a strip the cable but then what do I connect it too

Maybe it's better to by a solution which is already assembled.

A Grainfather or a Brewmaster.

I just want to use the pump to recirculated ice water through the immersion chiller after taking the majority of heat out by running the water from tap through chiller. Just want too know what 12v power supply connects to this pump

from the ebay page linked to.. the pump needs a 12v dc power supply that can supply in excess of 0.7a or 700ma
using a psu with a lower capacity will result in the pump trying to suck/drain more power than the supply can provide and it will fail and loose all its magic smoke (the psu not the pump)

you can use a lower voltage supply with ample power capacity too, ie 9v, the pump will just run slower.. but too low and it may not start the pump even..

a 9v smoke alarm type battery should run the pump enough for testing its all ok but not for a full chill cycle
at a push you could borrow a 12v car battery for a chill cycle

So any 12v DC power supply rated higher than 700ma (0.7a) will run the pump, and with DC voltage + is red - is black and when connecting up to the psu its + to + and - to - a simple inline switch will allow you to connect the pums lead directly to the psu and provide a easy inline on off control.
